| The problem I have with gay marriage is that marriage in general is a religious sacrament. Now, if this religious sacrament is intended to be between a man and a woman, then gay people should not be allowed to be "married". I also feel it's the same way if two atheists get married.
However, I recognize that gay people do love each other very much, and I see no problem why a gay couple should not be allowed to live together, or even have a ceremony celebrating their love for each other. Just not a "marriage" per se.
I also think, to accomodate for this, the government should stop categorizing people as "married" and "single", but rather use another term to describe an individual who is in a loving bond with another person, and to treat gay couples (and atheist couples, for that matter) the same way as you treat a religious straght couple |
